Working on a LIVE High Voltage Power Line

This man is working on a LIVE high-voltage power line. His suit is woven with steel fibers. It puts him at the same voltage as the line, so the power flows around him, not through him. The same trick that keeps a bird safe on a wire. This is live lineman work in a conductive suit. The steel-fiber suit creates a Faraday shield around the worker, keeping him at the same potential as the high voltage line. Current flows around him through the suit, not through his body. That is the same electricity physics that lets a bird sit on a wire safely. Utility line work is one of the top 10 most dangerous jobs. Workers face electrical work at height with dangerous jobs level risk from shock and falls.
